Tamzin Outhwaite has filed for divorce from her Miranda-star husband Tom Ellis, citing adultery as the reason for their separation.

Tamzin and ‘cheating’ Tom’s seven-year marriage was first reported to have come to and end last week.

And it has now emerged that 34-year-old Tom admitted to a one-night stand while he was filming Gothica in the US earlier this year.

The couple – who have four-year-old daughter Florence and one-year-old Marnie Mae – are also thought to be living apart.

A source told The Sun: ‘Tamzin desperately tried to make it work.

‘Tamzin has cited adultery, so she will have a huge advantage when it comes to negotiations. Tom’s a reasonable bloke and as it’s pretty cut and dried they could be divorced within months.’

It was claimed last week that it was Tom who decided to end their marriage and now Tamzin is seeking comfort in her friends – including Nicole Appleton who has suffered her own marriage woes lately.

An insider told the Sunday Mirror: ‘Tamzin is distraught. She thought Tom was the perfect husband. But after they agreed to separate, they had a long heart-to-heart and he admitted he had been unfaithful during their marriage.

‘She’s putting on a brave face but inside she feels humiliated and is being supported by a group of girlfriends including her best friend Nicole.’

Tamzin is best known for playing Melanie Owen in EastEnders from 1998 to 2002.

The pair married one year after meeting through mutual friend James McAvoy in 2005.
